Pierre Lacroix has stepped down as general manager of the Colorado Avalanche, citing personal and family reasons. A replacement general manager will be named at a later date and Lacroix will remain with the Avalanche as team president.

In a post-season press conference, Lacroix announced that he would no longer remain the general manager of the Avs, but would stay on as team president.
Lacroix said it was a mutual decision he made with team owner Stan Kroenke before the NHL lock out took place.
Lacroix will have a huge role in picking his successor.
